The power of women made this triumphant day possible. Men are no longer in women’s Olympic sports. Especially thank you to all of the women who took themselves to Paris and stood against Khelif and the @iocmedia They kicked off #XX and made the rest of the world sit up and listen. I’m especially proud of them today. @RoisinMichaux @LightninLex @lyd20211 @Andreia_O_Nobre 🫡

@JeanHatchet @iocmedia

Whilst in London yesterday we nipped into @KingsCollegeLon Social Science and Public Policy building and were quickly ordered to leave. ANY deliberate use of harmful drugs on children to disrupt their natural development into adults is an evil social experiment not a medical necessity.

Good to see 3 of our members including @JeanHatchet and @LightninLex get out on the street at short notice to stand up for women and girls. A number of “trans” orgs had gathered outside the @Girlguiding HQ to object to girlguidings correct decision to keep boys out.

Reminder of this event on 17th December to stand against the Puberty Blockers Trial. @twelve0fiveUK will be joining. 1pm. Dept of Health and Social Care SW1H OEU (Credit for image to the fantastic @TotalTitter)

We @twelve0fiveUK are committed to halting these horrific experiments on children and will be at this protest on 17th Dec. Join us. Our protest will follow on 10th Jan if still needed and we hope it won’t be. (Credit to @TotalTitter )

This trial must be stopped and every effort to try to achieve that must be supported. @twelve0fiveUK will be at this. Please come and join.

This from Cass is a betrayal of children. Women who said she didn’t go far enough were right. She did a lot with her research and report. She contributed heftily to halting the prescription of puberty blockers and gained the ear of politicians which was a huge achievement. However, the chink in the wall she purposely left open is being widened by further NHS experiments on children and she is fine with it. So women must fight for those children again and we will.

The more pressure we collectively put on @KingsCollegeLon to drop this horrific puberty blocker experiment on vulnerable children the better. Great to see Let Women Speak have now organised an event on the 9th December. I hope lots of women go and raise their voices there in support of children. We at @twelve0fiveUK think it would be good to spread and maintain the pressure on Kings College to withdraw this horrific trial and we will be there to protest it on Saturday 10th January. Join us. #NoToPubertyBlockers #NoToPathway

From the ‘Pathways’ trial / child experiments being held by @KingsCollegeLon The language is all you need to know this is wrong and must not go ahead. Children aren’t your drug guinea pigs. Stop trying to bring back harming confused/traumatised/abused/autistic children. @twelve0fiveUK

We will organise a protest against @KingsCollegeLon and their intention to use puberty blockers on 220 children under 16. Details to follow.

A year ago today @twelve0fiveUK was born at our action outside the German Embassy in support of German women’s fight against the introduction of “gender” selfiD. Today we are proud to join the fight to ensure the law ensuring women’s rights under the Equality Act 2010 is properly applied by the UK government. We shouldn’t still be asking #199DaysLater (Photo: Lily Maynard)

Thank you to @WeAreCyclingUK for reinstating the correct categories for women according to their sex not a man’s idea so he can win.

So now trans-identifying men are not allowed in the women's game, the FA has decided to warn trans-identifying women about the risk they run if they play against men? But for years they pretended there was no risk at all and punished women for objecting. bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

SEEN in Sport website launched! An invaluable resource for anyone who cares about the integrity of sport.

Get ready…

Thankyou @Martina In the UK @the_LTA have confirmed they won’t be changing their two tier fairness policy They acknowledge that males retain a big advantage over female tennis players… … but only think the most competitive women & girls deserve fair and male-free play 1/

Woman of the Day golfer Margaret Abbott born OTD in 1878 in India of American parents, who won gold at the 1900 Paris Olympics making her the first American woman to do so. She didn’t realise. In fact, she never knew because the Games of the II Olympiad were a bit of a shambles. First though, let’s have a brief look at the Olympics’ glorious record of empowering women through fair competition. Trust me, it won’t take that long. In 1896, the first modern Olympics were held in Athens. Men only, of course. In 1900 in Paris, women were permitted to compete at tennis, sailing, croquet, equestrianism and golf. Women’s events: 5. Men’s: 19. By the way, women deserved a second medal for playing in whalebone and metal corsets that pierced their skin. In 1928 in Amsterdam, women were allowed to compete in track-and-field events. Just five events (men had 22) but nothing more than 800m, you understand, because male doctors had long advised that anything over that distance would adversely affect child-bearing abilities. In 1976 in Montreal, women were permitted to compete in rowing for the first time but only in a one-kilometre race. Anything further and they would risk their babies being born with webbed fingers or some such excuse. Men could row for two kilometres. In 1984 in Los Angeles, women were finally allowed to compete in cycling and the marathon. Until then, they’d been restricted to 10,000 metres in case they became unable to bear children/their uteruses fell out/they grew a moustache. No, seriously. I’m not making this bit up. I wish I was. The 1996 Olympics Atlanta was a landmark year. The IOC discovered eight men would be competing in women’s events so what did it do? It let them go ahead but in 1999, took measures to prevent such a shocking thing from ever happening again. It stopped cheek swab sex testing on the grounds that it was “discriminatory” and caused “emotional and social injury.” Not to women, obvs. They were overwhelmingly in favour of keeping it but who cares what they think? In 2011, the bar on women competing in ski jumping was finally lifted after the president of the International Ski Federation was persuaded that their uteruses really wouldn’t fall out. In 2012 in London, every participating country sent a women’s team for the first time ever, although as cheek swabs had been stopped 16 years before, there was no guarantee that women were really women. Still, equality finally achieved, right? Not for long... In 2021 in Tokyo (Olympics delayed because of the pandemic), men could join women's Olympic teams just by saying they were women. A man competed in women’s weightlifting for New Zealand, denying a woman a place on the national team. In 2024 in Paris, women were mocked in the opening ceremony, men with fetching head tilts were openly welcomed as competitors in the women’s events, and a new Olympic sport was introduced: MVAWG. Punching a woman in the face for Olympic gold was the very epitome of inclusion, said the IOC, and shame on any woman who said otherwise. A shambles is the most polite description I can find for the 2024 Paris Olympics, which brings us neatly back to the 1900 Paris Olympics. When Margaret’s father died, her mother, Mary, brought the family back to the US where she became literary editor of the Chicago Herald. As a teenager, Margaret was a keen golfer. In those days, women were only allowed to play if accompanied by a man but she found two amateur golfers willing to coach her. She won several local tournaments, and by the time she was 20, had a handicap of two. (MrLily, who knows a bit about golf, was really quite impressed). Margaret was referred to as a "fierce competitor" with a "classy backswing". In 1900, Mrs Abbott travelled to Paris on business. Margaret went with her and spotted a newspaper article about a golfing event for women titled "Prix de la ville de Compiègne”, so they both signed up simply because they played golf and happened to be in France. It was something of a sideshow really because the big event in Paris that year was the Paris Exposition, known as the World’s Fair. Margaret won her event with a score of 47 strokes over nine holes - "because all the French girls apparently misunderstood the nature of the game scheduled that day and turned up to play in high heels and tight skirts” - and was awarded a porcelain bowl embellished with gold, while her mother scored 65 and tied for seventh place. What neither woman realised was that they had just taken part in the second modern Olympics. It hadn’t been advertised as such and there was nothing to mark it as special other than it was a good day out. In fact, Margaret went on to win a French championship before returning to the US in 1901. Then she got married. Margaret died in 1955, days short of her 77th birthday, still unaware she was an Olympian. She and her mother remain the only mother and daughter to compete in the same Olympics event. The 2028 Olympics will be held in Los Angeles. The current president of the IOC is Kirsty Coventry who is reported as being in favour of restrictions based on biological sex, saying, “Ensuring fairness in women's sport and maintaining the integrity of women's categories is essential. It is vital that all stakeholders work together on this issue." Let’s hope she means it. The somewhat frayed reputation of the Olympics depends on it.

Why would @BBCSport leave these comments out of Georgie’s testimony? “Our players were battered and bruised… One tackle left a player with a dislocated knee…” And why did @FA think allowing males in women’s football was safe or fair in the first place?

When did we stop believing in our eyes & gut! Oh yeah when we decided women’s sport didn’t matter…
